This <strong>beat &#8217;em up pixel art game <\/strong>draws inspiration from the Turtle Animated Series of 1987.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the game, you can assume the role of any one of the four Ninja Turtles in addition to them, you can also play April O&#8217;Neil, Master Splinter, and Casey Jones. Every character has its own set of moves and plays differently. The attacking style of the characters varies from having different speeds, ranges, and power. Throughout the game, you can find pizza boxes that can be used to heal the characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The adversaries in the game include Bebop and Rocksteady, Krang, Foot Clan, and of course Shredder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The game features two playing modes: Arcade and Story Mode. Arcade mode offers you only a limited number of lives and requires you to complete the game in one sitting. In Story Mode, you can convert the points accumulated through the gameplay into health, extra lives, and a special ability, Radical Mode which enhances the characters&#8217;  combat abilities for a short duration of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game also features a co-op multiplayer feature supported for up to six players on PC and up to four players on console. Although the game was just released in June 2022, it is already being counted in the list of the best pixel art games of all time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-messenger\">The Messenger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The-Messenger-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The Messenger\" class=\"wp-image-5884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The-Messenger-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The-Messenger-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The-Messenger-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The-Messenger-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The-Messenger-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The-Messenger.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Messenger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Developers<\/em> &#8211; Sabotage Studio<em><br>Release Date<\/em> &#8211; Aug 30, 2018<em><br>Platforms &#8211;<\/em> PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch &amp; Windows<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Messenger follows a story of a Ninja whose village has been attacked by a Demon king.

It is almost traditional that most games reach a maximum age of 7-8 years after which they are forgotten, but the developers of Terraria did an amazing job that helped Terraria see the decade of the 2020s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list is incomplete without this amazing 2D sandbox game that allows you to explore, craft, build, paint, dig, and fight with a wide range of procedurally generated opponents. The game is also counted in the list of best-selling video games ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game has been well maintained and taken care of by Re-Logic and that is one of the reasons that the players play this game up to this date.

Each of the four characters has different abilities and traits and is equipped with unique items and weapons which can be used in the dungeon.

Enter the Gungeon is one of the best examples of what a good pixel art game looks like and is highly recommended to Pixel Art fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"blasphemous\">Blasphemous<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Blasphemous-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Blasphemous\" class=\"wp-image-5876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Blasphemous-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Blasphemous-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Blasphemous-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Blasphemous-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Blasphemous-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Blasphemous.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Blasphemous<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Developers<\/em> &#8211; The Game Kitchen<em><br>Release Date<\/em> &#8211; Sep 10, 2019<em><br>Platforms &#8211;<\/em> PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Luna, macOS &amp; Windows<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A prime example of a perfect pixel art game, Blasphemous is a brutal combat-centric Metroidvania-style game. You play the game as a silent knight, that goes by the name The Penitent One, the sole survivor of the massacre of the &#8216;Silent Sorrow&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game features an in-game currency called Tears of Atonement that can be utilized to purchase items and upgrade the abilities of the Penitent One. The game takes place in the fictionalized city of Cvstodia which is filled with monsters. The Penitent One needs to make his way through the hordes of grotesque creatures and finally defeat the final boss, His Holiness Escribar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game&#8217;s story is written really well and the developers have done a fantastic job in designing the game.

Coffee Talk is a unique addition to this list. It is not a video game where you might expect some hardcore action adventure but it is a visual novel. The game draws its inspiration from anime of the 90s. The whole &#8216;game&#8217; takes place in a coffee shop named Coffee Talk which is located in fictionalized Seattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game features several characters that act as patrons of the coffee shop and come to talk about their various concerns to the Barista and with each other. The visual novel takes place over the course of two weeks. There are a total of 11 characters in the game, and all of them are of different races including &#8211; a fairy, a human, an alien, an orc, elves, an alien, a werewolf, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gameplay includes mainly reading dialogues since it is a visual novel. You also get to prepare drinks using the ingredients in the coffee shop and the drinks can affect how the story of the novel unfolds. It&#8217;s for those of you who are a fan of the 90s anime and have a thing for reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dead-cells\">Dead Cells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dead-Cells-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Best Pixel Art Games\" class=\"wp-image-6012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dead-Cells-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dead-Cells-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dead-Cells-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dead-Cells-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dead-Cells-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dead-Cells.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dead Cells<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Developers<\/em> &#8211; Motion Twin<em><br>Release Date<\/em> &#8211; May 10, 2017<em><br>Platforms &#8211;<\/em> PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Cloud Gaming, macOS, Windows &amp; Mobile Devices<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dead Cells is easily one of the top pixel art video games.

The game features a permadeath feature, which means that you will lose all your in-game currency (cells) and items (except a few, that are permanent) upon your death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Metroidvania game is a fine example of how a pixel art game with action-adventure elements should be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lisa-the-painful\">Lisa: The Painful<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lisa-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Lisa\" class=\"wp-image-5880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lisa-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lisa-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lisa-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lisa-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lisa-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.benettonplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lisa.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lisa: The Painful<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Developers<\/em> &#8211; Dingaling Productions LLC, Dingaling &amp; Dingaling Productions<em><br>Release Date<\/em> &#8211; Dec 15, 2014<em><br>Platforms &#8211;<\/em> PC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lisa: The Painful video game has to be the most existing game on this list of pixel art games. This game breaks the notion that for a game to be emotional and touching, it must have realistic graphics. Lisa: The Painful is the second installment of the Lisa trilogy, it follows Lisa: The First and is followed by Lisa: The Joyful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world, where you take up the role of Brad Armstrong, a middle-aged man, who explores the wasteland of Olathe in search of his adoptive daughter, Buddy.
